Mate, I'm an Aussie that moved to the states a couple of years ago. It still brings a tear to my eye that I gave up my Magna Ralliart. It was stupid. It was fun. I saw a very rarely seen Lancer on the road here, that had the ralliart badge and brought a tear to my eye.
I lol'd at every time he saw a Pontiac and geeked out trying to figure out what it was I thought to myself "student driver car, teacher car, the neighborhood junkie's car, the local fast food joint owner's car. It's the wildcard brand owned by people who just need a mode of transport." Also, 5:40, third gen Ford Escort. I had the second gen. The third gen is the only gen that still survives in North America. There's a few second gens barely clinging on to life, and every first gen has been completely wiped from existence by now.
My guy. That first car you didn't recognize at all, the flowy Green thing? Pontiac grand prix. Legendary. Along with the grand am (smaller) and the buick century/la crosse/park Ave those beasts were and probably will still be the ultimate standard Midwest high school car. Giant floaty torquey v6 boats that used to go for $1-3k with ~100k and mint interiors.

Heard, on the "certain type of person" that buys SUVs. But, if you live in a place where snow is a thing -- and sometimes _lots_ of snow -- then another type of person buys SUVs and trucks: The kind of person tired of making snow angels with their car doors, and getting stuck in their own driveway. There are a lot of Tacomas on my street. And Subarus.
Tbh those Fake MGs are built better than the old MGs and Rovers lol, also this is so funny, I would be getting excited over the Land Cruisers and BYDs in AUS, but I find the Tahoe/Escalade basically an appliance here lol Also Civic is kind of the default car here.

All three cars you pointed at saying you don't know what they are... Pontiacs. It's basically like American Holden (in that it was a division of GM and isn't anymore). The Sunfire is the same as a Chevy Cavalier (what the Cobalt replaced). I'm not aware of any international vehicles that share much with the Cavalier/Sunfire of this era. They're not good. But at the same time they're not bad either. They're definitely "an car". Of all the cars that have ever existed they are among them. The second one you pointed out was I think an 8th Gen Pontiac Grand Prix (1:36). I think... the Grand Prix is kinda similar to the Holden Commodore. The replacement for the Grand Prix was the G8 which actually was a Holden Commodore made for the North American Market. Third Pontiac (2:17) was a third gen Pontiac Sunbird. It's a predecessor to the Sunfire. They existed in 2 and 4 door models and even had a wagon version. Much like the Sunfire, it was basically just a fancy Chevy Cavalier. Or old version of Cobalt.

Im from Vancouver, vancouver weather is worse than england. We never get good motorcycle days so we just say f it and go out in anything. I hate large pickup trucks they take up way too much space and no one uses them for actual pick up stuff. The car market is split between small nuggets and big svu and pickup and people drive like its a war between them. Looking into buying something like a subaru sambar or other k truck
in Australia we don't have those yellow school busses or above ground fire hydrants. We usually see them on TV or in cartoons, so you can imagine why we get excited when we find out that they're real.

I had to drive a Ford F550 at work for a few months. Slightly bigger than a Tundra. Now I drive one of those white chevy vans he was so impressed with.
@@fredygump5578 Used to drive for a auto auction here in the States. We'd get those F550s about 2-3 times a month from businesses hat were replacing fleet vehicles or going out of business.

@@fredygump5578 I question your knowledge of 550s or Tundras because 550s are not "slightly" larger than fullsize. Heavy/super duty are slightly larger
@@Dr.Spatula I question your understanding of humor! Sometimes an "understatement" is used as a comedic device. This is common in British humor. When they say something is "slightly" too big or too small, one should expect it to be several orders of magnitude too big or too small.
It’s probably been mentioned, but the teal car at 2:17 is a Pontiac Sunbird. Built on the J-Body platform. Australia got its own J-Body, the Holden Camira. My favourite, and most ridiculous, J-Body is the Cadillac Cimarron… I’ve been the “proud” owner of one since August
@@alexflosho Believe it or not, the Tacoma is very big compared to other pickups you can get elsewhere. The only "truck" Toyota sells where I live is the Hilux which is like half the size of a Tacoma.
The blue fire hydrants in Vancouver are a separate system designed to be resilient to large earthquakes. Each has a large cistern of water they can pull from. It’s also worth noting that the blue hydrants also put out more water than the red hydrants.
oh that's cool San Francisco has a city wide cistern system too! They're marked by a ring of bricks, usually at an intersection. only thing is that ours came after the earthquake, because of it.
Fascinating. From an outsider looking in it on the surface seems like the blue ones are better. Are they only found in larger population areas that are more earthquake prone?
@daniel_gallardo808 not really most we get up here is forest fires and flooding I guess its more or less for just encase it happens earthquakes up here are super uncommon and usually are very minor
The truck you see at 1:19 is a kenworth c500 ballast tractor. Essentially the box on the back is a ton of weight so that you get traction on the drive axles for pulling heavy stuff. Those trucks are called vocational trucks, which essentially means they can be custom built to do special jobs. They use them a lot in here in Alberta for the oil sands operations. They can be fitted with cranes, ballast, winch beds, tanks, etc. Specifically the c500 is built to be an off highway truck in extreme conditions.
Man I just commented about how I’ve always wanted to see a c500 and that I need to come up to Canada from the U.S to see one, I also need to come see an Old Hayes or Pacific I won’t leave till I’ve seen one.
man thats insane to me😂 In Australia, I think the absolute largest Toyota is probably the 70 series Landcruiser dual cab, and the tacoma is still almost a whole metre longer. A normal sized Toyota here would be a hilux workmate
He probably just miss spoke, the tundra was recently introduced into the australian market so he probably ment to say small because they get the hilux which is both better and worst than the tacoma xD
As a Vancouverite, I kind of love this perspective of the city that you're showing! Most people in my circles don't really think much about cars, and it's been fun seeing how many of our "regular" cars are so unique to you! I hope you enjoyed our nugget of a city :)
It was so fun to jump between Richmond, Langley, and downtown so fast. Yes the trucks are big. And yes, it’s also certain personality types driving them lol
Car at 1:35 is Pontiac Grand Prix, Car at 2:16 is Pontiac Sunbird, 5:40 is a Ford Escort Wagon (NA Spec) also the Toyota Matrix is basically a Corolla Hatch so yeah. Man it's funny seeing Dank going crazy over seeing some of these cars when you see them on a day-to-day basis lol
Our fire hydrants are colour coded based on their flow. Red : 1900 Litres/minute Orange : up to 3780 L/m Green : up to 5675 L/m Light Blue : >5680 L/m But I think the dark blue one you saw is a different category altogether

As a guy who grew up driving crew cab trucks with 8' boxes for work on the daily, it's surprising how sturdy they actually are. You have to fuck up *royally* to roll one. Only rollover I ever came across personally in my decade-plus in the oilpatch was a electrical apprentice who decided he could keep his truck in two-wheel drive driving on glare ice, with cruise control on, no less. He rolled the truck on a corner and was lucky to make it out alive. Surprisingly, the company paid to fix it - a 20,000-plus dollar touch way back in 2010. 🥴
He's only missing the hoards of homeless people wandering around. (Seriously, the amount is off the chain there, and that's coming from someone who lived in NYC for 4 years.)

Large trucks that basically haul nothing heavy (and are also kept rather clean) seem to be a constant regardless of location then. Same thing where I am. (US but the one in the middle of the Pacific Ocean)
Toyota Matrix is basically a Corolla, but as a wagon. There's a Pontiac flavoured one called a 'Vibe', which got rebadged back to a Toyota 'Voltz' for asian market
@@TJX91 I ordered and swapped the 'Yaris' badge for a 'Vitz' one 'cause that's what I remember my car being called growing up, having played the GT games There's just something so silly about 'Voltz' and I love it
One of the most reliable cars ever made too imo I've seen a ludicrous amount of them with over 299,999 km(that's how high a lot of the odometers go lol thanks Toyota) that have had little more than basic maintenance
@@GamingLadJosh Plus even if most of them are super boring the XRS/Vibe GT actually has good power (like 180 hp) and the toyota vtec thing so it's a cheap way to get something fun.
My/my husband’s previous car was an ‘04 Vibe. It belonged to his grandma for 12 years and she put nearly 300K on the odometer. We put another 100K onto it (lot of travelling for the Renfaire circuit and family cross-country visits) in the seven years we owned it for. The engine parts? Absolute WORKHORSE. It was still running great when the car finally had to go to the scrapyard- the thing that eventually gave out was the exhaust system (which got fixed to some degree) followed by the struts (and they were too rusted to fix). I still see some on the road, they’re still very popular but getting rarer since they discontinued them.
As a Canadian who basically reacts to all the ausi cars in the background of car thing videos I'm really amused to watch wade get excited at a tundra Also, the fire hydrant colours indicate the pressure of the water main its connected to, I dont know about bc, but in ontario blue is the extra high pressure ones.
The prairies have even more, larger, and more... compensatory trucks. It's a right of passage to get coalrolled on a bike. Vancouver is also cool because older cars survive better vs. pretty much anywhere else in Canada because of how much milder/less road salty the winters are. Plenty of those old Volvos still kicking around!
The best part of big trucks is driving at night and having the headlights aimed right at your eyes. Also you can't forget about when they are parked near an exit to a parking lot and you can't see oncoming traffic because they are the size of billboards.
@@marcusborderlands6177 oh true, then I get to pay close to twice as much on fuel and never be able to find street parking! Why didn't I think of that!
The Tacoma is basically the Hilux for the states. The big truck is the Toyota Tundra. My mother has a 2016 1794 tundra and the rear seat legroom is fukin huge.
I don't know I live in Arizona and I don't see that many 80s or 90s Toyota Trucks, I see the 2000s and newer, but not those old ones, our old pre 2000s trucks are normally old Square Body Chevys, GMT 4000s, and Fords, mainly Aero Nose but you do see Brick Noses and Bullnoses every so often, and 2nd Gen Rams
As a viewer from Victoria, BC (the capital of BC which is just a quick ferry ride across the Juan De Fuca Strait) I find this to be very entertaining and eye opening. Everything you’re surprised about it just part of my day to day life. The cold, the rain, the brands and models of cars around, the GIANT pavement princess trucks and pedestrian-killer SUVs, the homes on wheels parked in a Walmart parking lot for several days on end, and of course, Cheezies. I had no idea Cheezies were a Canadian thing!
Wade, if you want a real good time, come to the Cord Deusenberg Museum here in Auburn Indiana. It's classic car heaven. We also do a giant car festival at the end of August. People bring everything from their classics to monster trucks
jeez, i couldnt imagine actually reconigzing places in a video by a guy from australia. Also, seeing the CN (Canadian National, or Canadien Nationale if your from quebec) train really inspired me to give you some quality BC lore. Canada is the Europe of North America, or the closest we will ever get to Europe. So, as expected, we have (or now, had, as our crown corporations are slowly disappearing) alot of crown corportations (which is essentially a company owned by the government, whether provincal or federal). BC Is no stranger to this. One of our oldest (and possibly THE oldest) crown corporations in BC Was BCRail. BCRail started off as being charted as Pacific Great Eastern (as it had loose ties with the Great Eastern Railway in England) in 1912. Back then BC was in a hell of a railway craze. Everyone was building railways and chartering them and many did not get built or died very quickly. Luckily, PGE, while was very close to death, was lucky to find the government wanting to take them over if they couldnt pay back their loan. And so in 1918, after only 32 kilometres had been built, the BC government took over PGE. For a good bit of its early years it would run from nowhere to nowhere, as it had no interchanges with any other railways, nor did it serve any major urban areas. It did find luck in serving logging and mining communities, though. It would gain nicknames such as "Please Go Easy" and "Prince George Eventually",' the former for its rather lengthy saftey record, and the latter because its goal was to reach Prince George (a community in the central interior, now a major hub) from their starting point of North Vancouver (which back then was essentially East Armpit. Now its something as they have their fair share of the port of Vancouver). In 1949 they finally started expanding to Prince George, gaining an interchange with Canadian National and Northern Alberta Railways. In 1958 they finally reached Prince George. A side note is that PGE dieselized with ALCos and MLWs (MLW being the canadian subsidary of ALCo) which are famous for being "honourary steam locomotives," as they are famous for horrible turbo lag (which produced thick smoke when throttling up) and producing what is probally the most steriotypical diesel engine sound ever: A slow, loud, mechanical chug. The premier at this time wanted to expand all the way to Yukon and eventually Alaska, and built a line to Mackenzie (a town in BC's north). In 1971 they finished a line to Ford Nelson, which was ~170 kilometres away from the Yukon border. Unfortunately, the PGE lived up to its nickname and the opening was overshadowed by the inagural train derailing. in 1972 it would finally gain a new name: the British Columbia Railway (BCR). In 1984, it would drop the new logo adopted in '72 (which featured the Pacific Dogwood, BC's provincial flower) and adopt a new, modern logo and name. It was restructed with properties going to BCR Properties. BCR would be renamed BC Rail and would be jointly owned by BCRC (the British Columbia Railway Company), and by BCR Properties. This would be its last name. For a while things would be slow. As per government, some controversies would emerge. In 1983 a new line was open: The Tumbler Ridge Subdivison. This subdivision would be electrified and serve new coal mines BC would be building after a contract with some asian steel mills. This was revolutionary. a brand new electric FREIGHT line in North America? Electricification would be saved for commuter trains at this point, let alone overhead line, as everything was third rail. With this, BCRail would purchase locomotives from EMD, and producing one of the most iconic classes of freight locomotive in North America: the GF6C. BCRail was already an anomaly for being nationalized in a world of privatized railways. Only the Alaska Railway was nationalized like BCRail. For the majority of BCRails history it would be extremely profitable. in the 90s the government cut subsidies so BCRail was forced to drop some services (which i believe was a mistake). Luckily, their passenger service, run by Budd RDCs wouldnt be a victim of this until 2002. If the government didnt cut BCRails subsidies (and perhaps asked the Federal government for help running it) it wouldnt've suffered the fate it did in 2003. Premier Gordon Campbell announced he would lease the railway off (not selling it). CN won the bid for 60 years. But, that wouldnt be the end of it. It would turn out that hoards of papers were falsified, and 5 people were arrested. It would be one of the biggest scandals in BC's history, the BCRail Scandal. BCRails legacy still lives on as CN still has not gotten rid of all of the Cowl Units (which were EMD freight locomotives with a full width rear hood), and the Nathan K5H (a 5 chime air horn used on BCRails cowl units) would be immortalized as the horn of the Half Life Razor train. BCRail would also be featured in many movies, sometimes taking a starring role, as BC is essentially the hollywood of canada. Just felt like you needed to know this. BCRail never dies.
I know I seen the CN and was filled with somewhat surprising pride for a sec. So many people in my family work for CN and are running those trains everyday.
RIP BC Rail. I've seen a handful of their old locos on CN trains in MN, but it sounds like the cowl units are being scrapped now, so no more of those, I'm afraid

The trucks are a real problem in north america tbh. People drive them like theyre damn miatas, forgetting that big vehicle means big impact.
Heh, your lucky you came a few weeks ago, should have been here a few days ago.
Im from Vancouver, vancouver weather is worse than england. We never get good motorcycle days so we just say f it and go out in anything.
I hate large pickup trucks they take up way too much space and no one uses them for actual pick up stuff. The car market is split between small nuggets and big svu and pickup and people drive like its a war between them.
Looking into buying something like a subaru sambar or other k truck
If you look really closely at 0:47, there's a Geo Metro!! LFGGG
Lol Alder Lake or Haswell are nice
that green car you had no idea what it was it was a pontiac grand prix its a fwd pontiac with a v8
Lmfao you should have come to Alberta, you want big fat eff off trucks, we gotcha mate
WOOOOO CANADA YEAH!!!!!!
The new prius actually have decent power tho you should try one
I love how Wade notices the Buick but not the Porsche Tycan behind it
There was another Taycan next to the red hydrant when he was busy staring in bewilderment of the blue hydrant.
That's because the W platform Buick Lacrosse is such a good looking car
To be fair he was hanging out with Linus so a taycan is already checked off the list
I like how he didn't see the Evo X at the train crossing either lmao.
@@KazzyMacI think that was just a regular lancer
As a Canadian, I love seeing someone freak out over the most normal things I see every day
in Australia we don't have those yellow school busses or above ground fire hydrants. We usually see them on TV or in cartoons, so you can imagine why we get excited when we find out that they're real.
@@Flare03l yeah, and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about kangaroos. It's understandable
Yup I agree with this
@@Flare03lwait you don't have school buses??
@@jwalster9412 they're usually not yellow. In Sydney they're either branded by the school if it's a rich school, or they look like regular busses.
5:39 that's my buddy's car 😂
Edit: by the way Wade, his car is a '95 Ford Escort wagon
Thought it looked a bit like an Escort Mk5 lol
I am so unsurprised that wade wanted this nugget out of all the things he saw
We have finally found what calms him: Radioactive materials.
They'll calm most people after a little exposure.
He comes from the state with the world's largest single deposit of uranium in the world (Olympic Dam), and also the state where the British held nuclear tests back in the mid 50's (Maralinga).
It's probably the radiation that hypes him up in the first place.
As a USerican, went to Australia and was enamored every time I saw any ute. My Australian friends were like "m8, it's just a ute" but then they absolutely lost their shit when a Camaro or Mustang drove by. The feeling is mutual, Dank lol
"Toyota Tacoma, those are the big trucks!"
Brother, wait until you see a Tundra.
I had to drive a Ford F550 at work for a few months. Slightly bigger than a Tundra. Now I drive one of those white chevy vans he was so impressed with.
@@fredygump5578 Used to drive for a auto auction here in the States. We'd get those F550s about 2-3 times a month from businesses hat were replacing fleet vehicles or going out of business. While I'm not a fan of Ford engineering and never have been, I cannot deny how comfortable those trucks are to drive. Lots of legroom for someone who's on the shorter ide at 5'7".
@@fredygump5578 I question your knowledge of 550s or Tundras because 550s are not "slightly" larger than fullsize. Heavy/super duty are slightly larger
He was talking in comparison to the Hilux, a crazy common vehicle world wide. Which also fat compared to old Hiluxes.
@@Dr.Spatula I question your understanding of humor! Sometimes an "understatement" is used as a comedic device. This is common in British humor. When they say something is "slightly" too big or too small, one should expect it to be several orders of magnitude too big or too small.
It’s probably been mentioned, but the teal car at 2:17 is a Pontiac Sunbird. Built on the J-Body platform. Australia got its own J-Body, the Holden Camira. My favourite, and most ridiculous, J-Body is the Cadillac Cimarron… I’ve been the “proud” owner of one since August
I mean honestly, the Cimarron is the best out of the J Bodies
Does yours have Corinthian leather?
J bodies are the best
I find this absolutely hilarious hearing a different perspective on things im so used to seeing on a daily basis
literally when tourists visit Australia they get excited over seeing a Commodore or Falcon for the first time
The Pontiac confusion is phenomenal
The Grand Am as well as Taco being called a “big truck” is the best part
Fr
@@alexflosho Believe it or not, the Tacoma is very big compared to other pickups you can get elsewhere. The only "truck" Toyota sells where I live is the Hilux which is like half the size of a Tacoma.
It low key feels like its the most Canadian thing in the world to excitedly point out the streets you know
“I saw snow for the first time in my life. It was cold.” The fifth most Australian thing I’ve heard.
The blue fire hydrants in Vancouver are a separate system designed to be resilient to large earthquakes. Each has a large cistern of water they can pull from.
It’s also worth noting that the blue hydrants also put out more water than the red hydrants.
oh that's cool San Francisco has a city wide cistern system too! They're marked by a ring of bricks, usually at an intersection.
only thing is that ours came after the earthquake, because of it.
As Vancouverite, TIL lol
Then why have the red ones if the blue ones are just better
Fascinating. From an outsider looking in it on the surface seems like the blue ones are better. Are they only found in larger population areas that are more earthquake prone?
@daniel_gallardo808 not really most we get up here is forest fires and flooding I guess its more or less for just encase it happens earthquakes up here are super uncommon and usually are very minor
There needs to be a part 2. As a Canadian ive never smiled any harder that now seeing this. Thank you. :)
The truck you see at 1:19 is a kenworth c500 ballast tractor. Essentially the box on the back is a ton of weight so that you get traction on the drive axles for pulling heavy stuff. Those trucks are called vocational trucks, which essentially means they can be custom built to do special jobs. They use them a lot in here in Alberta for the oil sands operations. They can be fitted with cranes, ballast, winch beds, tanks, etc. Specifically the c500 is built to be an off highway truck in extreme conditions.
i love severe duty trucks... Such badass vehicles.
@@realcanadian67 I know right. I wish Alberta had more pacific trucks. I've never seen one of them in real life
@@papercrane747 Hell yeah! Love those Pacific trucks. Pacific Truck & Trailer essentially helped the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest thrive.
1:21
Man I just commented about how I’ve always wanted to see a c500 and that I need to come up to Canada from the U.S to see one, I also need to come see an Old Hayes or Pacific I won’t leave till I’ve seen one.
I love how confused Wade was about setting sun. From someone living in the Pacific Northwest, WELCOME TO THE WINTER
Living in New England in winter is the same way. Sun sets at 4-4:30 here, too.
I like how a taco is considered big and it’s a smallish midsize pickup in North America
Also that one you didn’t know was a Pontiac Grand Prix
Just wait until he finds a Tundra.
Was about to comment about a Tundra and as I clicked the text box a comment appeared
@@steelfox1448 great minds think alike.
He also didn't know a Pontiac Sunbird
That's smallish? Jesus, one of my cars is a Twingo rs, that is a small car.
In the US tacomas are the smallest truck toyota makes thats crazy to imagine they are big trucks elsewhere
man thats insane to me😂 In Australia, I think the absolute largest Toyota is probably the 70 series Landcruiser dual cab, and the tacoma is still almost a whole metre longer. A normal sized Toyota here would be a hilux workmate
Going to Woolies and seeing just a Dodge truck, which are fairly new here, they are twice the size of a carpark. Those shits don't fit.
@@magnificentbuzzand we immediately judge the person who owns it lol
We have the Tundra in Canada aswell.
He probably just miss spoke, the tundra was recently introduced into the australian market so he probably ment to say small because they get the hilux which is both better and worst than the tacoma xD
Love seeing Wade call Tacomas the "big trucks" lmao
American is completely different from Canada but it’s also insanely similar at the same time
I know right
Visiting Toronto as an American felt like peering into an alternate universe. It's so similar, but different in a bunch of ways too.
I live in Seattle and my partner goes to uni in Vancouver, basically the same city with different measurements and license plates lmao
Nah, Canada is just America Jr. Plop me in Canada and the only thing that’d confuse me is the metric system and Monopoly money.
@@MyriadysToronto is used as certain American cities in a bunch of movies. Short Circuit 2 has Toronto pretending to be new york
As a Vancouverite, I kind of love this perspective of the city that you're showing! Most people in my circles don't really think much about cars, and it's been fun seeing how many of our "regular" cars are so unique to you! I hope you enjoyed our nugget of a city :)
It was fun and I saw my hood
What surprised me most was how he didn't know the three door civic was a thing lol
It was so fun to jump between Richmond, Langley, and downtown so fast. Yes the trucks are big. And yes, it’s also certain personality types driving them lol
Please please please travel more to make more of these. I’m dying laughing. ‘I don’t know what you are, but I want one?’ Killed me
Car at 1:35 is Pontiac Grand Prix, Car at 2:16 is Pontiac Sunbird, 5:40 is a Ford Escort Wagon (NA Spec) also the Toyota Matrix is basically a Corolla Hatch so yeah. Man it's funny seeing Dank going crazy over seeing some of these cars when you see them on a day-to-day basis lol
To be fair i had never heard of the Grand Prix as a car enthusiast, it legit looked whacky af
Also i like the twingo in your PFP, truly based XD
Not only is the Matrix basically a Corolla Hatch, but the full model name of this car is the Corolla Matrix.
I want him to do the same in Japan. So many weird sub-variants that never made it to Australia.
Also should note that matrix was also available as you guessed it! A Pontiac
Our fire hydrants are colour coded based on their flow.
Red : 1900 Litres/minute
Orange : up to 3780 L/m
Green : up to 5675 L/m
Light Blue : >5680 L/m
But I think the dark blue one you saw is a different category altogether
Holy fuck learned something new today
I'm Canadian and I didn't know this. Based on research, it seems to be more of a regional thing, rather than a federal one.
And in Regina, the Mountie mothership has hydrants painted like little Mounties.
@@venomoussocks1017 it's an NFPA (american) classification but it's optional. lots of places have adopted it. funny to see it in LPM though. i'm a canadian and i think of it in GPM and L/s for my job

As someone who doesn't know the breeds of car, watching him zoom in on a car seemingly identical to those around it and freaking out is kind of hilarious. It's always fun to see someone get excited about something I know nothing about.
“Breeds of car” is a hilarious way to put it, and from the way some car guys talk about it, it’s also pretty accurate
@@jordishimaI think I'm going to steal that one.
Oh no, identifying model years by subtle differences in the mirrors or wheel arches or front grille IS just like birdwatchers looking for a special little crest to make an otherwise ordinary bird into a special rare one
@@kaitlyn__L some face lifts are noticable. Some are about as obvious as the difference between a Chrysler using the Chrysler minivan platform and a Dodge using the Chrysler minivan platform.

It's so weird seeing Wade wander around Langley BC. Keeps giving me the feeling I might spot a Wade in the wild.
"The Everything" seems like such a fun car. So many possibilities.
You can even roll it turning on an intersection! How exciting :D
I know, Right?
As a guy who grew up driving crew cab trucks with 8' boxes for work on the daily, it's surprising how sturdy they actually are. You have to fuck up *royally* to roll one. Only rollover I ever came across personally in my decade-plus in the oilpatch was a electrical apprentice who decided he could keep his truck in two-wheel drive driving on glare ice, with cruise control on, no less. He rolled the truck on a corner and was lucky to make it out alive. Surprisingly, the company paid to fix it - a 20,000-plus dollar touch way back in 2010. 🥴
Looks like the B-is-for build camper thing..
I’m so proud Wade got the true Vancouver experience. Rain and giant SUVs
He's only missing the hoards of homeless people wandering around. (Seriously, the amount is off the chain there, and that's coming from someone who lived in NYC for 4 years.)
@@Michael-zf1ko very true, it’s a huge problem the city’s facing and is only getting worse. It’s good that it’s getting talked about more on an international scale as of late, but I wish the Canadian government/vancouvers community could give those people the help they need/help them off the streets
@@sebb6011 I know someone from Vancouver and he says the real issue is Chinese investors owning like 1/3 of the city. People can't get homes because of foreigners buying up property without even living there and driving up the prices. It's a sad situation indeed.

CANADAAAAAA! 🇨🇦 Also as a Canadian city dweller I promise you 90% of those giant trucks are never used to haul anything more than groceries…
Large trucks that basically haul nothing heavy (and are also kept rather clean) seem to be a constant regardless of location then. Same thing where I am. (US but the one in the middle of the Pacific Ocean)
and whatever the owner found or bought to put in the back permanently as weight because pickups aren't garage queens
Groceries, a second wife, and questionable political stickers.
It's just rich conservatives cosplaying as working-class as usual

Toyota Matrix is basically a Corolla, but as a wagon. There's a Pontiac flavoured one called a 'Vibe', which got rebadged back to a Toyota 'Voltz' for asian market
Ayyy came here to say this. My buddy ordered a Voltz front emblem for his vibe. Same shape and everything
@@TJX91
I ordered and swapped the 'Yaris' badge for a 'Vitz' one 'cause that's what I remember my car being called growing up, having played the GT games
There's just something so silly about 'Voltz' and I love it
One of the most reliable cars ever made too imo I've seen a ludicrous amount of them with over 299,999 km(that's how high a lot of the odometers go lol thanks Toyota) that have had little more than basic maintenance
@@GamingLadJosh Plus even if most of them are super boring the XRS/Vibe GT actually has good power (like 180 hp) and the toyota vtec thing so it's a cheap way to get something fun.
My/my husband’s previous car was an ‘04 Vibe. It belonged to his grandma for 12 years and she put nearly 300K on the odometer. We put another 100K onto it (lot of travelling for the Renfaire circuit and family cross-country visits) in the seven years we owned it for. The engine parts? Absolute WORKHORSE. It was still running great when the car finally had to go to the scrapyard- the thing that eventually gave out was the exhaust system (which got fixed to some degree) followed by the struts (and they were too rusted to fix). I still see some on the road, they’re still very popular but getting rarer since they discontinued them.
As a Canadian who basically reacts to all the ausi cars in the background of car thing videos I'm really amused to watch wade get excited at a tundra
Also, the fire hydrant colours indicate the pressure of the water main its connected to, I dont know about bc, but in ontario blue is the extra high pressure ones.
The prairies have even more, larger, and more... compensatory trucks. It's a right of passage to get coalrolled on a bike. Vancouver is also cool because older cars survive better vs. pretty much anywhere else in Canada because of how much milder/less road salty the winters are. Plenty of those old Volvos still kicking around!
I 'm from Europe and drive a volvo 240 GL Turbo. The 240's are everywhere at all times.
As a Brit I am so happy you called it a fake MG
the old mg were alright the new ones are chinese shitboxes
The best part of big trucks is driving at night and having the headlights aimed right at your eyes. Also you can't forget about when they are parked near an exit to a parking lot and you can't see oncoming traffic because they are the size of billboards.
See, if you drive one too those problems go away. Gotta think smarter
@@marcusborderlands6177 oh true, then I get to pay close to twice as much on fuel and never be able to find street parking! Why didn't I think of that!
The one that looks like a nissan is a pontiac sunbird. They're oddly desirable, and priced way higher than you'd think or hope.
Also, the black car he didn't know was a Pontiac Grand Prix I believe. The wagon that he wants is a Taurus Wagon. They're notoriously unkillable.
@@thequacktrainchannel3921 escort wagon
You're right. I always get them mixed up.
Because those things are seemingly immortal. Even rural alberta meth heads cant break them.
My parents had one growing up, I remember sitting on my dads lap and steering on the back roads, drove that thing till the floors fell out!
The Tacoma is basically the Hilux for the states. The big truck is the Toyota Tundra. My mother has a 2016 1794 tundra and the rear seat legroom is fukin huge.
As someone who lives in West-Coast US the cars I see is about the same. But with more 80-90s Toyota trucks as they haven't rust away from salt
I don't know I live in Arizona and I don't see that many 80s or 90s Toyota Trucks, I see the 2000s and newer, but not those old ones, our old pre 2000s trucks are normally old Square Body Chevys, GMT 4000s, and Fords, mainly Aero Nose but you do see Brick Noses and Bullnoses every so often, and 2nd Gen Rams

As a viewer from Victoria, BC (the capital of BC which is just a quick ferry ride across the Juan De Fuca Strait) I find this to be very entertaining and eye opening. Everything you’re surprised about it just part of my day to day life. The cold, the rain, the brands and models of cars around, the GIANT pavement princess trucks and pedestrian-killer SUVs, the homes on wheels parked in a Walmart parking lot for several days on end, and of course, Cheezies. I had no idea Cheezies were a Canadian thing!
Im also from victoria! Stay cool broski
Aye Vic gang rise up!
4:52 Mate you didn’t have to turn into a furby to get your point across 😂
Wade, if you want a real good time, come to the Cord Deusenberg Museum here in Auburn Indiana. It's classic car heaven. We also do a giant car festival at the end of August. People bring everything from their classics to monster trucks
jeez, i couldnt imagine actually reconigzing places in a video by a guy from australia.
Also, seeing the CN (Canadian National, or Canadien Nationale if your from quebec) train really inspired me to give you some quality BC lore.
Canada is the Europe of North America, or the closest we will ever get to Europe. So, as expected, we have (or now, had, as our crown corporations are slowly disappearing) alot of crown corportations (which is essentially a company owned by the government, whether provincal or federal). BC Is no stranger to this. One of our oldest (and possibly THE oldest) crown corporations in BC Was BCRail. BCRail started off as being charted as Pacific Great Eastern (as it had loose ties with the Great Eastern Railway in England) in 1912. Back then BC was in a hell of a railway craze. Everyone was building railways and chartering them and many did not get built or died very quickly. Luckily, PGE, while was very close to death, was lucky to find the government wanting to take them over if they couldnt pay back their loan. And so in 1918, after only 32 kilometres had been built, the BC government took over PGE. For a good bit of its early years it would run from nowhere to nowhere, as it had no interchanges with any other railways, nor did it serve any major urban areas. It did find luck in serving logging and mining communities, though. It would gain nicknames such as "Please Go Easy" and "Prince George Eventually",' the former for its rather lengthy saftey record, and the latter because its goal was to reach Prince George (a community in the central interior, now a major hub) from their starting point of North Vancouver (which back then was essentially East Armpit. Now its something as they have their fair share of the port of Vancouver). In 1949 they finally started expanding to Prince George, gaining an interchange with Canadian National and Northern Alberta Railways. In 1958 they finally reached Prince George. A side note is that PGE dieselized with ALCos and MLWs (MLW being the canadian subsidary of ALCo) which are famous for being "honourary steam locomotives," as they are famous for horrible turbo lag (which produced thick smoke when throttling up) and producing what is probally the most steriotypical diesel engine sound ever: A slow, loud, mechanical chug.
The premier at this time wanted to expand all the way to Yukon and eventually Alaska, and built a line to Mackenzie (a town in BC's north). In 1971 they finished a line to Ford Nelson, which was ~170 kilometres away from the Yukon border. Unfortunately, the PGE lived up to its nickname and the opening was overshadowed by the inagural train derailing. in 1972 it would finally gain a new name: the British Columbia Railway (BCR). In 1984, it would drop the new logo adopted in '72 (which featured the Pacific Dogwood, BC's provincial flower) and adopt a new, modern logo and name. It was restructed with properties going to BCR Properties. BCR would be renamed BC Rail and would be jointly owned by BCRC (the British Columbia Railway Company), and by BCR Properties. This would be its last name. For a while things would be slow. As per government, some controversies would emerge.
In 1983 a new line was open: The Tumbler Ridge Subdivison. This subdivision would be electrified and serve new coal mines BC would be building after a contract with some asian steel mills. This was revolutionary. a brand new electric FREIGHT line in North America? Electricification would be saved for commuter trains at this point, let alone overhead line, as everything was third rail. With this, BCRail would purchase locomotives from EMD, and producing one of the most iconic classes of freight locomotive in North America: the GF6C. BCRail was already an anomaly for being nationalized in a world of privatized railways. Only the Alaska Railway was nationalized like BCRail.
For the majority of BCRails history it would be extremely profitable. in the 90s the government cut subsidies so BCRail was forced to drop some services (which i believe was a mistake). Luckily, their passenger service, run by Budd RDCs wouldnt be a victim of this until 2002. If the government didnt cut BCRails subsidies (and perhaps asked the Federal government for help running it) it wouldnt've suffered the fate it did in 2003. Premier Gordon Campbell announced he would lease the railway off (not selling it). CN won the bid for 60 years. But, that wouldnt be the end of it. It would turn out that hoards of papers were falsified, and 5 people were arrested. It would be one of the biggest scandals in BC's history, the BCRail Scandal.
BCRails legacy still lives on as CN still has not gotten rid of all of the Cowl Units (which were EMD freight locomotives with a full width rear hood), and the Nathan K5H (a 5 chime air horn used on BCRails cowl units) would be immortalized as the horn of the Half Life Razor train. BCRail would also be featured in many movies, sometimes taking a starring role, as BC is essentially the hollywood of canada.
Just felt like you needed to know this. BCRail never dies.
I know I seen the CN and was filled with somewhat surprising pride for a sec. So many people in my family work for CN and are running those trains everyday.
RIP BC Rail. I've seen a handful of their old locos on CN trains in MN, but it sounds like the cowl units are being scrapped now, so no more of those, I'm afraid
Wade, I was stoked to get to hang out with you at the Linus Writers Party! You're a riot, and cant wait to see you again some time. - Elijah PS funny to see you freak out about cars here that I get to see everyday lol
